The Fulmar CTV is a new multi-purpose crew transfer vessel (CTV) that can accommodate up to 24 personnel for high-speed transfers and can be configured for extended offshore trips. It is an Ambitious Class CTV. The charter for the Inch Cape Offshore Wind Farm was awarded to OEG earlier last year. Fulmar is the second vessel developed by Chartwell Marine to join OEG’s fleet, following the delivery of Furioso in 2024. OEG owns and operates a fleet of 15 multi-purpose CTVs across the U.K., Europe and Taiwan, and is undergoing a strategic fleet modernization program, having sold two older vessels last year with further disposals planned this year.
